Cessnock City Council is gearing up for the 2024 local government elections by proposing significant adjustments to its ward boundaries. As the population continues to grow, the council aims to maintain fairness and balance among its four wards, ensuring that no ward has an elector number exceeding 10% of the others, as required by the Local Government Act 1993.
